The impact of Dublin’s An Góilin Traditional Singers club (with a mention in dispatches to the Munich Folk Club ) is evident again and reinforces the importance of these clubs in keeping traditional music alive and reinvigorated.Īn Góilin has a lot to answer for, as the place where Daoiri where picked up the seven-minute epic title track – all nine verses- while adding his own tune that segues on seamlessly into a flying jig – or reel or both – whatever, it’s a belter of a tune that even the confirmed chair dancers will find an irresistible foot tapper. For starters he kicks off with two new arrangements the first is the epic retelling of Father Murphy that digs deep into history and the rebellion of 1798 while One Starry Night is accompanied by a stark shruti/harmonium drone. He’s made an art of sourcing and interpreting songs, adding his own signature and casting them into the future. The idea that the ten new recordings provide a combination of rawness, impact and beauty of his previous three albums gives a snapshot of expectancy. With The Wedding Above In Glencree, he provides more ammunition for the fact as well as even taking the unprecedented step of recording one of his own tunes. It’s no secret that Daoirí Farrell has become a leading interpreter of traditional songs.

Fourth album from Irish troubadour Daoirí Farrell finds him in confident shape.
